Daily Devotional- Parenting

26 So I run with purpose in every step. I am not just shadowboxing. 27 I
discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should.
Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might be
disqualified.

PERSONAL DISCIPLINE

Everyone knows we ought to practice spiritual disciplines such as
quiet time, prayer and Bible study, but how many of us consider physical
discipline as an important example for our children. What type of model
do we present when it comes to eating and exercise?

Sometimes we
have to give up the good for the better. Passing up an extra helping and
spending some time in the gym may be the types of activities that can
make you a better parent and a better witness for Christ. With the
popularity of video games and the proliferation of TV channels, your
kids could use a little time outside, how much better if you train
yourself to go with them.
